Love is the answer

Love is the answer
It is always the answer
Even when we forget
Even when we're confused
Look around you
Notice where the peace is missing
Notice where the communication is off
Notice where we live past each other
What we need is to connect
What we need

The Answer Depends
Why do some believe it’ll get better
while others are sure it’ll get worse
Why do some take wild chances
while others sit out the big dances
Why do some sock

What Am I
What gave me away?
Was it my sway?
Or my long limber limbs
Like glasses with broken rims?
Oh sure, wind has its way with me,
But broken or uprooted, I’ll never be.
Neither short, not tall, could be my description.
My strength and elasticity, a better depiction.
Cry me a river is your first hint,
And for a second; I’m easily bent.
Not a

Years That Ask, Years That Answer
Winter storm.
Question marks
fall like snow
on shoulders bent
with seeking.
Hollow caverns
where certainty
once lived
echo chambers
of why.
Face pressed
against cold glass.
Fingertips trace
what cannot
be grasped.
Footsteps
soft on unseen paths.
Autumn leaves
crumble
in cupped palms.
Dreams, half-formed,
scatter
like dust
through fingers
that cannot hold.
Shell splits.
Light finds
the crack,
makes

When the Truth Broke in Two
I remember the first question
I never had the courage to speak.
I feared I would not receive an answer,
and feared even more if I did.
words were born from hunger,
not from dreams.
I had no dreams,
only roads walked by others,
and I clung to the edge of their shadows,
like a child forbidden to ask
where is the mother.
Wisdom is a

The Answer's A lemming
There are those who think the masses
are like a legion of lemmings
doing a death march into the sea
(actually a river)
but suicidal lemmings are a myth
created by none other than Walt Disney
in Alberta, Canada where
(no lemmings live)
the 1958 film 'White Wilderness' was made
and the sordid scandalous scene
by the filmmakers was staged
spinning turntables were constructed
all covered

This Room Does Not Answer
There is no God in this lightbulb.
Only the slow hum of its dying.
My shadow curls in the shape of a fetus
on the tile floor,
unwanted by chairs,
forgotten by the table.
I sip yesterday's coffee like a ritual.
Cold. Black.
It does not speak to me
but I pretend it does.
The walls are beige and unjudging.
They do not hate me.
They simply

My answer is affirm No to his request
Just name the day, and I will be there.
This morning, the notification bells woke me up.
With sleep still in my eyes, I reached for my phone.
The tone lingered from that text in my ear:
"Annie, I love you, despite the tears."
We cannot ignore the world and

Angel's Answer
Angel's always answer,
Life's tiny dancer,
They hear all the banter.
Enhance your understanding,
We can be demanding,
Constantly planning,
Standing in our own way.
Whispers come through all day,
Through what others may say,
Or what you see play out,
Release your doubt,
And how you want it to turn out,
Angel's hear you

Midnight Answer
You ride through shadows, chasing dawn,
But you never saw the storm you spawned.
I’m not the girl you left behind--
I walk the dark with purpose, spine.
Your wheels may spin on borrowed fate,
But I was born to navigate.
I don't chase ghosts or beg for grace;
I set my fire and claim my place.
The night knows me--I wear its

This Probably Isn't For You and You Don’t Have to Answer
You don’t owe me anything.
That’s the difference now.
You're not asking.
I'm not hinting for less.
No one is dressing it up
as metaphor.
But I did leave something
where you’d see it.
Not a trap—
more like a record that could be
interpreted as invitation.
Of what?
Of how long the echo held
after your part went missing.
That’s all.
I won’t chase it.
I won’t rephrase.
But if something

Beauty Defined
What is beauty?
Can I sing to it?
Can I bathe it in
Honeydew lotion
and read it ancient
love poems
as it fights the
gravity of sleep?
Can I feed it
pureed applesauce
and wipe its
dripping face clean?
Can I hold it in my arms
and feel the weight
of infinite potentials
I will carry on my
shoulders until it
finds place for them
on

Death is The One Thing No Human Has The Answer For
One day as I laid in the ER bed.
Thoughts of dying ran thru my head.
This time I thought, I might not pull thru.
Lord I'm not sure how, but I must trust You.
I surrendered my fear to Him and just let go.
I was trying to predict an end that I didn't know.
Suddenly two people came my

Original poem:
Tera hona jaise koi khwaab lgta hai
